Sansa watches as Tywin Lannister takes control in King\\u2019s Landing. The Tyrells fully embrace the new alliance, the Lannisters dole out rewards to loyalists, punish their enemies, and pat themselves on the back. King Joffrey drops her for another, putting Sansa on cloud nine. But Dontos brings her crashing back to earth. Simon and Mackelly try to break her fall.

Chapter Review:
Sansa Stark stands in attendance as the Lannister family congratulate themselves and their allies. Lord Tywin Lannister takes over as Hand of the King. Mace, Garlan, and Loras Tyrell ask favors of the king, all are granted. The biggest ask being that Joffrey put Sansa aside and marry Margaery Tyrell.

After that, it\\u2019s time to split up the winning from the Battle of the Blackwater. New lords are made, including Lancel Lannister and Petyr \\u201cLittlefinger\\u201d Baelish. More than six hundred men are knighted. Finally, the Stannis Baratheon supporters are dragged before the king. They\\u2019re made to beg his forgiveness, to retain their titles and lands. Most do, but some choose death by vocally disparaging the boy king.

When all the glad-handing, promotions, and begging for forgiveness are over, Sansa returns to her chamber. She can hardly remember a time she\\u2019s been this happy. She won\\u2019t have to marry Joffrey. She doesn\\u2019t know what will happen to her, but it has to be better than marrying that monster. Ser Dontos Hollard disagrees. He thinks nothing has changed. But he\\u2019s set a date for their escape: Joff\\u2019s and Margaery\\u2019s wedding day. He also has a present for her, in the form of a beautiful hair net. He claims it holds justice for her father.
